Israel Police Commissioner Danny Levy instructed on Friday afternoon to "examine" Argaman's statements ahead of a potential investigation.
According to the police, he accessed the hostage’s medical records out of "curiosity."
The victim sustained moderate wounds to his leg and was transferred to the hospital.
These operations come as part of a widespread effort by the police to locate wild animals held illegally by civilians.
The family of the co-owner said that the police confiscated books and placed an order for the store to be closed, all without a search or arrest warrant.
"The police don't do anything. They have never helped us with anything. If you tell them the settler is taking your sheep, they'll ask 'Are you sure it's yours?'"
The IDF confirmed that the victim was a soldier and that he was evacuated to a hospital for treatment. The IDF also clarified that the incident is not being classified as a terror attack.
